Luxury scarves designed in Hastings, made in Britain, worn world-wide
Textile designer Melanie Laslett launched her premium scarves business Laslett England in 2014. Melanie's designs are original creations inspired by art, nature and found objects and influenced by a love of vintage fabrics and historical references. Melanie understands the power of a printed square, she says "There is something about a printed scarf or pocket square that transcends fashion, an accessory to love and cherish and a great wardrobe fix for both women and men".
Every product is made in England using specialist manufacturers, the scarves and pocket squares are printed in Macclesfield on the finest luxury silks, wools and blended natural materials with finishing - hand-rolling and hand-fringing. All accessories come hand packed in signature luxury red boxes.
Since starting the business, Melanie has supplied six collections to Bloomingdales in the USA, launched her online sales channel laslettengland.com, established a global customer base and collaborated on bespoke projects including a personalised silk pocket square with a Saville Row Tailor and scarves for a film production company.
Everything is 100% designed and made in the UK. The benefit from making in the UK is the knowledge, skill and professionalism of the manufacturers and the key relationships that we've built. Laslett England have a long-standing relationship with R A Smart in Macclesfield and Mustard Ties in Rochester.
Each component is sourced from the UK; everything from the garment sew-in label to the presentation box given to each customer with every order.
